Magic, Glamour, and Digital Eternity.</p>
<p dir="auto">Symbol: A stylized crescent moon surrounded by eight stars.<br />
Industry: Media, technology, entertainment, digital surveillance.<br />
Supernatural Composition: 50% mages, 30% humans, 20% vampires.</p>
<p dir="auto">CEO: Hoshizora Reina (星空 玲奈)<br />
•	Race: Mage<br />
•	Born: 1995<br />
•	Background: Once Japan’s most beloved idol singer, Reina abruptly vanished at the height of her fame in 2016. Rumors claimed burnout—truth was her awakening to ancient star-magic bloodlines tracing to the Fuji Seers.<br />
•	Personality: Charismatic, calculating, outwardly innocent. Uses charm and social media mysticism to control information flows.<br />
•	Current Goal: To merge technology and sorcery, creating a “digital immortality” platform allowing consciousness to transcend flesh — potentially breaking the vampire monopoly on eternity.</p>
<p dir="auto">Headquarters:<br />
Hoshizora Ark, a hyper-modern glass tower in Shibuya built over ancient ley lines. Beneath it lies The Neon Labyrinth — a subterranean data temple accessible only to initiated mages.</p>

“Our souls are just data, waiting to be saved. And I will be the one who saves them.”</p>
